Unit 2: Estimation and Computation

Content Standard: Estimation and Computation

Measurement Standard

1. Identify and select appropriate units to measure angles; i.e., degrees.

2. Identify paths between points on a grid or coordinate plane and compare the lengths of the paths; e.g., shortest path, paths of equal length.

3. Demonstrate and describe the differences between covering the faces(surface area) and filling the interior (volume) of three-dimensional objects.

4. Demonstrate understanding of the differences among linear units, square units and cubic units.

5. Make conversions within the same measurement system while performing computations.

6. Use strategies to develop formulas for determining perimeter and area of triangles, rectangles and parallelograms, and volume of rectangular prisms.

7. Use benchmark angles (e.g.; 45º, 90º, 120º) to estimate the measure of angles, and use a tool to measure and draw angles.
